He/him, 29 year old autistic human and low level health care worker, I don't actually use Twitter much, except to argue with people. More active on Instagram

It's a little hilarious to me that @RemnantBooks got a bunch of schmucks to donote money to mail an idiotic book to me that I immediately tossed in the trash.

@mallisonKATU God, @KATUNews reporters are terrible, well, with them, it's on purpose, since they're Sinclair owned. If they left the train parked at Gateway, it would have blocked the other two lines that weren't blocked by a vehicle.

As an autistic person, having my SMS & Signal messaging in 1 app was great for me, having more apps for text based comm. gets incredibly stressful for me. @signalapp dropping SMS is now making me use another app for just SMS, increasing the number of apps I use for text comm.

@senbetsyjohnson Yet you're getting a lot of funding from republicans/conservatives for your bad faith campaign to spilt the democratic vote and allow the first republican governor since the 80s.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

Normally I don't go against people voting independent/third party, but @senbetsyjohnson is being heavily funded by GOP/conservative groups and her campaign is a bad faith run by the GOP to split the Democrat vote, in order sneak in the first GOP governor of Oregon since the 80s.

2/2 what happened to y'all shouting "#DefundThePolice"? Even if you just meant "Police reform", the #PPB is still failing (and not even trying) to comply with their 2014 settlement w/ the DOJ over use of force. I don't trust the PPB, so I'm going to vote no on Measure 114.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

1/2 #Measure114 will expand police power by leaving it up to them on who can or cannot have a permit, based on their subjective opinions.

The Portland Police Bureau has a history of far-right wing and racist officers, even a proven neo-Nazi (retired Captain Mark Kruger).

@trimet 1/3 I understand y'all are short staffed and some busses get canceled, but it'd be nice if your tracking information would reflect this. I had the option of taking either the 71 or 72, the 71 was scheduled to come just 2 minutes after the 72. Both would have gotten me

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

Remember when @JoeBiden said that electing him was the only way to ensure #RoeVWade didn't get over turned?

It literally just happened, with him as president & a democratic majority in the house.

@TheDemocrats are completely useless as opposition to the GOP.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@PBOTinfo y'all know that someone hit the traffic light control box at 102 and Weidler and the traffic lights are dead as a result, right?

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

Of course, a few minutes after I complain about it on Twitter, it arrives.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@mellon_heads Did you ask Tribune Aquila if you could post this?

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@portlandgeneral Okay, power is back

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@portlandgeneral @craphound69 It's now 5:10p, when are we getting our power?

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@portlandgeneral hey, when is Buckman getting it's power back on? It's been out since around midnight.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

2/2
-Approved several drilling permits

-Still refuses to consider single payer health care

#Biden is a Blue Conservative, who's only going to maintain the status quo of supporting the capitalist class and pushing American #Imperialism.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@trimetalerts Is there any idea on if Trimet will be running to some degree tomorrow morning?

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@KrishaMitraDas @trimetalerts I'm told they're not running either, and even if they were, I'm broke and can't afford Uber or Lift.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@Trimet shut down bus and MAX services, which I understand it's for safety and I'm not mad at them, but damn, I work in a hospital, that's going to be super short staffed today, plus, I can't really afford to take the 12 hour loss on my next paycheck.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@45thabsurdist And only maybe once or twice did I actually see any of them actually plowing.

[Arik Staley @PDXAutisticDude]

@45thabsurdist I went for a long walk yesterday and saw about 4 city plows, 2 Oregon DOT plows, and maybe 7ish private company plows.
